Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Expert systems (ES) have produced much excitement in recent years. Because a great deal of experience and knowledge are captured in the ES, there may be no need to consult a specialist for every decision in the given area. A properly designed expert system thus has in its knowledge base a wide collection of facts, relationships, and rules specific to that domain.Expert systems have been published in a number of logistics-related areas. Application domains include inventory management, vehicle routing, warehousing, combined production/distribution systems, and the scheduling of machines and flexible manufacturing cells. General surveys of ES methods are available for decisions in industrial engineering, logistics, and intelligent manufacturing.In this article, we develop an expert system for the selection of material handling equipment. The paper begins by outlining the steps in choosing such equipment for a warehouse or factory. We next discuss their knowledge embedded in our ES in various databases and groups of rules.The article then presents a complete run of the expert system. The user responds to a sequence of questions, resulting in a short-list of feasible equipment. This is ranked according to “distance,” the closeness of each to (nonexistent) ideal equipment for the particular application. The distances are derived from multi-attribute decision making (MADM). Brief appendices deal with MADM and the database concepts used in our ES. Throughout, the presentation is aimed at logisticians who may not be specialist in the technical issues involved.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Towards Intelligent Manufacturing Systems This book contains the selected articles from the third International Conference on lriformation Technology for Balanced Automation Systems in Manufacturing. A rapid evolution in a number of areas leading to Intelligent Manufacturing Systems has been observ@d in recent years. Significant efforts are being spent on this research area, namely in terms of international cooperative projects, like the IMS initiative, the USA NIIIP (National Industrial Information Infrastructure Protocols) project, or the European ESPRIT programme, and a growing number of conferences and workshops. The importance of the Information and Communication Technologies in the manufacturing area is weIl established today. The proper combination of these areas with the socio-organizational issues, supported by intelligent tools, is however, more difficult to achieve, and fully justifies the need for the BASYS conference and the publication of the series of books on Balanced Automation SyStems. The first book of this series focused on the topic of "Architectures and Design Methods", was published in 1995. Mahy of the fundamental aspects of manufacturing, and some preliminary results were presented in this book.

Download or read book A Knowledge based System for Material handling Selection of Discrete Part Manufacturing written by Maznah Iliyas Ahmad and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Material handling is one of the production functions that have been the focus of attention for many manufacturing industries especially discrete parts manufacturing. Generally, the design of material handling system can be divided into four phases namely; conceptual design, detailed design, launching and fully operational. The focus of this research is on the conceptual design phase. Since there are hundreds of equipment types and procedures to choose from, the selection activities are usually complex and difficult. Therefore, quick and appropriate material handling selection is important in a production system, since it can increase productivity, flexibility of the manufacturing time and it also reduces cost. Hence, development of a decision support system to aid in the selection of the material handling equipment is a significant contribution in manufacturing operations. In this research work, the selection system was developed using Kappa-PC expert system shell. It uses forward chaining for inferencing. In the forward reasoning stage, the developed system attempts to deduce a material handling equipment type recommendation based on user specified requirements. The selections of the material handling equipment are based on the move attributes and characteristics of material to be handled, operation requirement and area restriction. The recommendation from the knowledge-based system is refined through application of simulation modeling techniques. The simulation was carried out using Arena 9.0 software package. The material handling selection system assist design engineers in selecting the most suitable and appropriate material handling equipment type for the task being considered. The advantages of the developed system are; it considers both selection and configuration analysis, it can be immediately implemented in factory operations; it is modular and user friendly. The system was successfully validated through a case study. The case study was carried out on Sharp Manufacturing Corporation Sdn. Bhd., in Malaysia. Through the case study, a total of 5.20s of the transfer time and RM 9.00 per cycle of the transportation cost of the current Sharp Manufacturing System will be reduced. This result in 72.22 and 75.00 percent of improvement on the transfer time and transportation cost respectively. By the reduction and improvement on the transfer time and transportation cost, the efficiency of the material flow and productivity of the Sharp Manufacturing system will increase and the production cost will reduce.

Download or read book Decision Making in Manufacturing Environment Using Graph Theory and Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making Methods written by R. Venkata Rao and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-27 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision Making in Manufacturing Environment Using Graph Theory and Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making Methods presents the concepts and details of applications of MADM methods. A range of methods are covered including Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), VIšekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR), Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Preference Ranking METHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE), ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la Realité (ELECTRE), COmplex PRoportional ASsessment (COPRAS), Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), UTility Additive (UTA), and Ordered Weighted Averaging (OWA). The existing MADM methods are improved upon and three novel multiple attribute decision making methods for solving the decision making problems of the manufacturing environment are proposed. The concept of integrated weights is introduced in the proposed subjective and objective integrated weights (SOIW) method and the weighted Euclidean distance based approach (WEDBA) to consider both the decision maker’s subjective preferences as well as the distribution of the attributes data of the decision matrix. These methods, which use fuzzy logic to convert the qualitative attributes into the quantitative attributes, are supported by various real-world application examples. Also, computer codes for AHP, TOPSIS, DEA, PROMETHEE, ELECTRE, COPRAS, and SOIW methods are included. This comprehensive coverage makes Decision Making in Manufacturing Environment Using Graph Theory and Fuzzy Multiple Attribute Decision Making Methods a key reference for the designers, manufacturing engineers, practitioners, managers, institutes involved in both design and manufacturing related projects. It is also an ideal study resource for applied research workers, academicians, and students in mechanical and industrial engineering.
